About
Boomerangs Cafe
Welcome to Boomerangs Cafe, a delightful culinary gem nestled at 4833 Johnston Rd, Port Alberni, BC. Renowned for its all-day breakfast and lunch offerings, this quirky eatery embraces an inviting atmosphere that reflects its Australian roots. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by friendly staff and an ambiance that encourages relaxation and enjoyment.
As a food reviewer at Foodjoyy, I was eager to explore their diverse menu, and I was not disappointed. The cafe prides itself on its scrumptious wraps, with highlights like the Calamari Caesar and Turkey Cranberry, each priced at CA$17.95. The culinary creativity also shines in dishes such as the Chook Chipotle and the mouthwatering Crispy Thai Shrimp wrap, guaranteed to satisfy your cravings.
For those who indulge in spirits, the cafe boasts a well-stocked bar featuring a delightful selection of white wines, like the Ardonnay, and premium beers such as Illers Genuine Draft and Heineken. This inviting drink selection complements the vibrant food offerings perfectly.
Customer experiences speak volumes about Boomerangs. Katherine Goertz Thompson aptly described it as the top breakfast spot in Port Alberni, noting the delicious food and friendly service. Numerous patrons like Denis Shulepov rave about the great atmosphere and the abundance of gluten-free options. My visit verified these claims. However, one review from Justin Vandorp brought a dose of reality with a nod to the imperfections; while his experience featured a misstep with a steak, it showcased the café's commitment to customer service, as the staff promptly addressed the issue.
From breakfast to lunch, you’ll find something for everyone. Whether you’re starting your day with a hearty breakfast or enjoying a leisurely lunch, Boomerangs Cafe ensures each visit is memorable. Regulars, like Shawn Charron, repeatedly find satisfaction in their dishes, promising deliciousness every time. Jenna Laureau's enthusiasm for their cheeseburger soup and generous burger portions also emphasizes the flavorful offerings that make this cafe a must-visit.
If you’re in Port Alberni, I highly recommend making your way to Boomerangs Cafe. It’s more than just a place to eat; it’s a charming retreat where food lovers come together to indulge in delightful dishes, all wrapped up with a smile and a warm welcome.

“ Delicious food! Friendly service! Google ranked this as the top breakfast place in Port Alberni - it did not disappoint! ”
“ Great food, good service and atmosphere. Lots of gluten free options. ”
“ Busy place, good food and great service. I only went 4 stars on food because I ordered stake and eggs and well the steak was a bad cut, burnt on the outside, raw on one half and we'll done on the other.. couldn't even cut it with a stake knife. However the staff were pleasant and dealt with it accordingly.. The Beef Dip my wife ordered was amazing and the rest of my breakfast was prettt good! ”
“ I love coming here. I most often get breakfast, but I've had lunch here too, and have never been disappointed. ”
“ This is a lovely, quirky cafe open for all-day breakfast & lunch until 4 pm. It has a well stocked bar and very friendly, helpful staff. The owners have an Australian background, and this is evident by the decor and the name (the idea is you will keep coming back!) The burgers are delicious- yummy generous homestyle meaty patties with loads of toppings. The chips are great too - skin on, home fries. We also tasted the soup which was a bowl of WI try goodness (cheeseburger soup!). We'll return to this gem. ”
“ We were on our way towards Tofino. We stopped by Boomerangs for a quick breakfast. The interior of the restaurant looks great. We ordered breakfast for two. It was amazing, fresh and delicious. ”
“ This restaurant never misses! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—whether you’re dining in or ordering for delivery. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The ambience is just as impressive: welcoming, stylish, and comfortable without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you can relax and really enjoy your meal. But the real standout? The service. Absolutely top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring—every visit feels like you’re being looked after by people who love what they do. It’s rare to find a spot that nails food, vibe, and service so perfectly every time. Highly recommend! ”
“ I freaking love this place. Every time I come, I get the cheese waffle fries, and they never disappoint. Delicious cheese sauce and plenty to cover everything. The hashes are delicious and a good value for your dollar. Unlimited coffee. The hungry man and bush man breakfasts are super filling... and the place is just full of tacky wall hanging things and it's just awesome and fun. Its a diner. But they do it all very well. Will always come back when passing through from Victoria. ”
